At International House, we are referring to the current academic year as “The Year
Zullo
It is alumni who carry the message of the House, “That Brotherhood May Prevail,” throughout the world. It is our re-
sponsibility, in the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, to support the efforts of alumni in carrying the International House banner.
Please let us know if you are interested in participating in the alumni programs,
or if you would like help in locating any lost I. House friends.
We hope that you will visit your old home in New York the next time you are in our neighborhood. I think you will be
more than pleasantly surprised by some of the changes and heartened by the many aspects that have remained the same since your residence with us.
We look forward to working with you and appreciate your continued support. — Paula Arnold, Director
